Summary

Datadog has partnered with Out In Tech, a non-profit organization that helps LGBTQ communities build websites for their own communities. The partnership was initiated by Datadog's employees who are part of the LGBTQ community and wanted to support an underrepresented group in tech. Through this collaboration, Datadog has hosted two events: a Demos & Drinks night in NYC and a Job Networking Mixer in Boston. These events aimed to increase visibility and growth for the LGBTQ community within tech, providing opportunities for networking and recruiting efforts. Employees who participated in these events reported being inspired by the passion and diversity of attendees, and expressed gratitude for Datadog's investment in their personal development. The partnership is part of Datadog's diversity strategy, which aims to build a diverse workforce and affect change in the broader tech community.
